I think the small quote that you cut and pasted would be considered fair use

I made a point of not copying the entire article as requested. I did, though, copy everything on point. I don't know the copyright laws enough to know the fine line between fair use and a violation. I just try to respect them in principle.

If something I want has a cost, I either pay it or do without. If I'm having a meal with someone who pockets a handful of little blue packets from the table, I'm uncomfortable. I wouldn't download anything from Napster, either. The other day I told Fresh Fields that they had incorrectly marked the chicken I bought with a much lower price. But I wouldn't trudge however miles Lincoln did in the snow to return a penny. We all do what we have to.
